In 2007, the company marked its 100th anniversary! Sobeys is truly a family owned and operated business that has grown into an empire over the decades, but it all began from humble beginnings.

Sobeys was founded in Stellarton, Nova Scotia by John W. Sobey in 1907. J.W. started a meat delivery business with a horse-drawn cart. He purchased and collected livestock from local farmers for resale. In 1924 his son Frank H. Sobey convinced J.W. to expand the delivery business into a full grocery business, serving the industrial Picou County region. From that point until his death, Frank was the driving force behind the business. Sobeys opened its first self-serve supermarket in 1949. Today, Sobeys Inc. is a $17.6 billion company.
